Deployment Adjustments for Recovery & Hot-Swapping
Recovery only for all Cornell Rockhopper sites and UMCES sites T-2C, T-3C
Addition of VR2ARs in place of VR2Ws and Sonardyne acoustic releases for redeployed UMCES sites
- UMCES sites to be redeployed: T-1C, V5, A-5C, V4
Removal of co-deployed C-POD and LS-1X at sites T-1C and A-5C; VR2Ws replaced by VR2ARs
Addition of an F-POD at site V5 and an LS-1X at site V4
Mooring configuration:
LS-1X and F-POD placement above VR2ARs (necessary for acoustic release mechanism)
Estimated max. time needed at stations:
Tonal Playbacks - 10 mins
- Goal to conduct playbacks for all Rockhoppers currently deployed in array (A1M-A7M) on first day of cruise
Rockhoppers - 10 mins
- Retrieval only
